the obama administration drawing up its blueprint for the next four years, and on the agenda, immigration, climate change, gun control, and tax hikes. you notice anything missing? bob cusak and sabrina says democrats are embolden this time and spending cuts last on the list. bob, first to you. bob, the president is essentially a lame duck, the second term, 16 months. that's a lot to deal with in 16 months. what's first on the agenda, do you think? >> first is gun control, and, obviously, this was before the connecticut shooting, but he did not talk about it in the first term. he didn't push it. he's going to be pushing that, pushing immigration, pushing climate change, but spending is not on his agenda, cutting spending. i think he was interested in 2011, almost got a deal with speaker john boehner on a grand bargain on entitlement reform, crafting a budget now. i don't think you're going to see major cuts in that. it's a significant shift. remember, obama said the deficit kept his awake in the first term. through his actions, you know, he's not pursuing a lot of cuts and changes to entit

has vowed to have a more transparent administration is this yet another example that that in fact is not the way it played out i would say his his continuation of the surveillance state really expansion of the bush era surveillance policy is one of the most egregious failures of the obama administration especially because he knows better he knows exactly what he's doing and that's what makes it so disturbing and what we really saw with that why in a minute that was subsequently turned down by the congress was the senator wyden and senator udall and others really just wanting to know the basics of this fight what kind of information it collects on whom they want to know something things like how many people are being severely surveilled for instance and whether communications between americans are being reviewed or whether it's just between americans and people in foreign countries so facts like that that we haven't actually gotten any answers to and that we aren't going to get any answers to in the future and in the time in the near future anyway it also was made back in one thousand

the obama and bush administrations have torn that structure down. what is left is the state of nature. the american government that played such a key role in developing this international law is returning the world to a state of nature where the strongest country does whatever it wants. you have to ask yourself -- what happens when we are no longer the strongest country? what happens when there is another country that has drones and wants to use them in the same way? host: from twitter -- guest: on fortunately, that is the view of many people and i am not saying it is wrong. there are good people in congress, people who care, but there are frankly, a lot of bad people. there are some uniquely bad people there who do not really think about these issues. if you rely on congress to protect your rights, you know nothing of history. congress has never been a protector of civil liberty. what is dangerous now is that you have a president with the democratic party who is a certain these unconstitutional powers and you have republicans that defended them und
